Fosdem 2021 and NethServer Community gathering

Panel sounds great :smiley:

I am sorry to see no further interest in this event. And since it is only 1 month from now, I have to cancel this, or if the community still wants to have an online community meeting, let someone else step forward and take over.

I’m interested :raised_hand:

And I think @alefattorini has already some plans!

I have your mail opened on my todo list since November 1st :slight_smile:

As always, I’m not good on proposing talks and organizing events, but I’d be more than happy to participate.
I’m also available for an AMA, as usual :wink:

It could be a great idea. We can collect some questions right here before and during the AMA :slight_smile:

FOSDEM is coming and it’s time to organize our event!

To avoid conflicts with CentOS Dojo, and respect our FOSDEM tradition, we would like to organize the event on Staturday, 6 February 2021.

What time do you prefer? All times are in CET timezone.

  • Morning: 10:00-12:00
  • Afternoon: 14:00-16:00

The meeting will be online, we just need to choose the platform.
I would like to also register the event, @robb @oneitonitram @mrmarkuz do you think your Jitsi instance can handle it?
Otherwise Nethesis can provide a Zoom room.
Let me know!

@robb is already preparing a talk on the future of NethServer, anybody else want to propose a topic?
Talk slots will be 30 minutes long.
If we have time, we would like also to reserve a slot for questions and answers :slight_smile:

Drop me a private message if you want to be a speaker! Call for Papers closes Thursday, February 04 at 20 pm.

@ambassadors_group let me help to spread the word and invite our community members!

We used docker jitsi and it has some limitations as regards permissions so I don’t think it’s really usable.
At the moment I have problems with my provider and I don’t have other ressources to provide an ubuntu with full jitsi.
I think it would be cool if Nethesis can provide a zoom room where we know that everything works (including recording)

I agree with Markus. However it was a nice experiment to have some extra features on a nethserver instance. The VPS is a running on a 4GB VPS but I already see it is running out of memory rapidly.
If we can use a Zoom room, that would be more stable.
Alternatively is using a free jitsi room: https://meet.jit.si/
But you have to take into consideration that everybody who joins has admin rights on that room. If the cenversation is announced, it could attract people who want to mess around…

from experience, jitsi and nextcloud talk are more about bandwidth of the server than the RAM resources of the server.4 GB RAM should be able to handle about 100 users, this i have tested myself on jitsi meet.

if you have a lot of bandwidth, then it becomes easier to host many users.

@giacomo how many people are we expecting to host on the event. Generally

I really have no idea!
I hope more than 100, but probably less than 50 :smiley:

You can start a survey here.
I will be there, but I will miss the dinner… or perhaps we will have dinner at a video chat :poultry_leg: :beer: :beer: :beer:

I’ve already did, well … kind of :smiley: I hope that votes on the poll :point_up: could also count the number of interested people.
So far we have only 6 voters :cry:

i would def bring a beer haha

Folks please add your vote so we can pick the time for our gathering

why not call for a company offering high bandwidtch servers to sponsor us with a server to deploy jitsi meet inside it, so that we make use of that one that way we also showcase our solutions in action

Because we do not have time to test solution :slight_smile: We already have a jitsi installation but I’m not sure it can handle the load, also the registration is not configured and it could take long time to validate it.

So if we already have a Jitsi installation than was proven to satisfy all requirements, we can go with it. Otherwise Zoom is a safer and quicker solution :slight_smile:

Please let’s focus on the meeting agenda as @alefattorini already pointed out! :wink:
